BEAT SUMMER BOREDOM WITH GIRL SCOUT CAMP

Summer 2013 will be here before you know it! Girl Scouts of the Missouri Heartland invites all girls going into Kindergarten through 12th grade to spend part of the summer at Girl Scout resident camp. Resident camp is offered at four program properties: Cherokee Ridge (Wayne County), Finbrooke (Christian County), Latonka (Wayne County), and Mintahama (Newton County). Girls can choose from program sessions ranging from one day up to two weeks, sessions begin the week of June 16.

"The Girl Scout camp experience is a great way to build outdoor skills, get a sense of community and develop a deep appreciation for nature. Girl Scout camp provides an opportunity to grow, explore, and have fun--always under the guidance of caring, trained adults." said Chief Executive Officer Anne Soots.

Girls can choose sessions that include riding horses, zip lining, building robots, canoeing, swimming, training to be a camp counselor and more! No matter what session girls choose, everyone will have the opportunity to participate in traditional camp activities like campfires, swimming and fun activities. Camp is a great place to meet new friends, try something for the first time and build memories to last a lifetime!
